Sharing the RoadStandalone practice
A fire truck with its siren and lights on passes you, and you continue in the same direction. What is the closest that you may follow the fire truck?
Correct answer: 500 feet
Why
Emergency vehicles can stop, turn or back up suddenly, and crews need room to work. More emergency vehicles may follow the first one, so check before you return to the traffic lane. The law also bans driving into or parking in the block where fire trucks have stopped for an alarm.
